STEvElEsoN.-Judith w. Stevenson
was born In Kentucky, May 80, 1905.
Her maiden name was Dupuy. She
was converted and joined the Method
list Episcopal Church In her sixteenth
year. She was married to Nathan
Stevenson May 20, 1924, moved to Iii
nois In 1884. and from there TO Brock.
enridge County, Kas., In October, 1857.
She was the mother OF ten children,
i've Of whom preceded her to the bet
ter land. AS few families had set
tied around their new home they opened
subscription school in her house, and
her daughter Sally taught the school
son William also taught a writing
school the same winter. And in the
spring Of 1859 Sabbath School was
organized at the same place and her
husband was the superintendent.
These are supposed to have been the
first schools taught in what Is now
known as Lyon County. Her house
hood, and it was the home or the min
esters of the various churches. She
was discrete in her bearing In COM
pany; commanding in her appearance,
with q high degree Impractical intelli-
gence, a dutiful wife, an afectlonate
mother, and one Of the best of neigh
bors.
In meeting the reverses of an early
pioneer life in Kansas she manifested
heroic spirit and was always hopeful
of better days. She lived onthe sunny
side of life with an ever open hand to
help the struggling ones little higher
up the summit Of progress. Her life
was a benediction on her family and
the community in which she lived.
March o, 1887, she left her five chill
dren with many grandchildren for the
far away home of the soul, of which we
often sing. A large funeral procession
followed her remains to the family
burying ground. May the memory of
her past life be a light TO guide the
steps of all who knew her to better
life. J. MCANULTY.

TIE PENSION BILL.

The Dubuque Iowa Telegraph, a
thoroughly democratic sheet, but with
al one that is thoroughly union, has the
following pertinent remarks on the
pension bill, which will probably be
read with interest by Kansans:
Recently the Chicago Times thanked
God for the defeat of the general pen
sion bill and affirmed that its intended
beneficiafieS were ''perdioseroS,o "eof-
fee coolers" camp stragglers,'' etc.
The Des Moines Register, edited by
Mr.. j. s. Clarksop, replied in an indig-
nant VEIN, and the discussion pro-
crossed till on Saturday last the Times
printed an article which, in point OF
blackguardism, stands almost unparal-
eled in the history of the American
press.
The Times assumes that every man
in the north who shouldered a musket
| is asking for pension. This is an
error. Few of the ola soldiers ask for
anything. They do not fix their sup
port by the government as the reward
for services rendered when but for
them the government would have per-
ished. In the city of Dubuque there
are men such as DIR. Ruete, Peter
| Kiene, Jr., who spent seven months in
| the Andersonville prison, Capt. George
/ Healey, Private George Luck, Captain
Langstaff, Private Jerry Howard and
hundreds of others whom it would
| be be easy to mention, who do
not need the support of government.
They are self-sustaining, and can bet
ter afford to help than to be helped.
| They are not-and they are types Of
/ the old soldier notwithstanding for
a pension from the nation which, but
for their patriotism, would be unable
to pay pensions, asking or demanding
anything. 1t is the men who were too
young to enter the union army, but
who fully appreciate the great services
rendered not only to their country but
to humanity by the volunteers of the
civil war, and also by those mems
children, who demand for the old mus

THE president has appointed the
railroad commissioners, and Morrison
of Illinois, who stultified himself by
changing his vote on the dependent
pension bill at the presidents diction,

predicted. Gen. Bragg of Wis
consin will probably be the next one
to receive his reward, if he does not
loose the use of his other eye, in which
case probably the president would treat
him in the manner that he Bragg did

done some good,

IT appears that the office-seekers
have adopted the plan of attaching
special delivery stamps to the applica-
tions in order to make sure that they
shall reach the appointing powers. The
custom is one which should be encour-
aged, inasmuch as special delivery
stamps cost ten cents each, and the
spoils-hunters can thus be made to con-
tribute little something to the sup
port of the government which they are
so anxious to serve.

OUR article of a few days ago, head
ed the Wichita Boom, in which we
took occasion to recommend that Kan
sas papers should abstain from sheer

towns, is being pretty generally copied
and favorably commented upon
throughout the state. We only hope
it may have the result aimed at when
it was written. If Kansas editors can
not say kind words for Kansas towns
let them do the next best thing-hold
their peace.

not answer the law) when subscriber
does not take his paper out of the

being taken. ANY neglect to do so
makes the postmaster responsible for

discontinued, he must pay all arrear-

collect the whole amount, whether the
paper is taken from the Office or not.
There can be no legal discontinuance

4. If subscriber orders his paper to
